this is florida, you see a lot of visits here. you break it down by candidate, where is the president, this is the i-4 corridor. where most of the independents are. this is an area i know ari fleischer is interested in. the question is, the democrats will win the southernmost counties. will the jewish vote be less? will the president get less because of the dustup with governor romney and israel in the campaign. you won't see the president out here. this is the most conservative republican part of the state. that's to turn up the republican base. you see them both competing here in the i-4 corridor, where you find independents. vice president and paul ryan, i'll pull out the map as we close the conversation. that's just paul ryan, that's just vice president biden, that's governor romney. and that's president obama. notice the pattern, in the last couple weeks, this is the last two weeks. the last two weeks of this campaign, about nine states have gotten the attention, the rest of you just get to watch. >> thanks very much. we're a

first before anything is florida. if obama wins florida-- and i agree with the consensus here that it tilts to romney-- if obama wins florida it's game, set, match. the other guy can't win. but apart from that i want to look at first of all -- i want to look at this profile. i want to see what the latino vote is, how big it is. i want to see how the youth vote compares to last time. my guess is some issues we thought would be big a couple months ago like medicare haven't been big at all and i want to see again mark mentioned those places earlier. ohio is a fascinating place because it's so diverse. and the valley as nothing in common with hamilton county yet they'll both be critical in different ways so it will be a fascinating election no matter what. >> rose: hamilton county is reflective of what? >> it's anncredibly diverse county. it's the home of the tafts. it was a reliable -- cincinnati was a reliable republican stronghold. it's become much more diverse. it has a large african american population, a latino popu
